Thank you for the comparison, I've got a Lav and a few other Mics. One thing I think that's important to remember - poor Video quality won't necessarily ruin your video but poor Audio always will, so I'm quite happy making sure that I've got that covered.

Great video, thanks so much! 💜
4:58 One remark: bleutooth earbuds or headphones add a tiny audio delay, so using wired headphones to monitor incoming audio is generally better for more critical recording.

I don’t year and years of my YouTube career trying to hide my microphone to seem more “professional” but i think for most creators/influencers it doesn’t matter if your mic is seen and in fact it’s more authentic.

I have the fulaim x5, they are practically the same as the dji ones with 1/3 the price of dji and they sound amazing. Perfect ones, really recommended

am i the only person impressed by the 10 dollar tiny amazon mic ...wow

Tyler, you have a really fantastic style of communicating.

For small and mobile shotgun, I love the VideoMic GO II from Rode. Especially with USB-C iPhones now, it makes everything so much simpler and is really versatile with the 3.5mm jack acting as a headphone monitor OR as an output, depending on your task.

I must say that this video is so well put together! Your work needs more regignition🗯🔥. I must ask you 1 question: Do you have any problems with your Dji mic? I just ordered Dji mic and after that I start hearing that it has so much problems "1 audio delays", 2 sometimes audio goes off during recording and a bit more😅🤔. Should I switch to Rode wireless (pro) instead😇✌

For what is basically a multi-product review, this was pretty engaging

[ckhicks]

Great job mixing up the locations on this one - lovely setting!

[St-MichaelHaze]

What kind of mic are you using to record this video?

[Lostinthemoors]

Small mics were designed to be hidden, and now it's a trend to have them in plain sight. Reminds me of some dude who clipped his rode mic onto a stick and held it with both hands. Like, why?

[lihu]

This was a super informative video - thank you for putting it together!

[deoczidGONI]

I find the "in the hand" mic setups records wayy too much treble to the point where it's uncomfortable. I wouldn't really turn up the treble much in post if i recorded while having the mic sitting on my shirt.

[corbinadler]

THANK YOU. i was trying to research this a while back & found nothing at all 🙏🏼

[AnuragGanguly]

Good video again, Tyler! And it kinda itches our never ending curiosities to sound best, too.

[mariaandersen]

Great video! Tyler can you share what equipment (microphone, camera or iPhone) you are using in the clips from your livingroom/kitchen - really good sound for a brand video. Thanks, maria

[Hatewine]

This was the greatest comparison video ever! Nice job!

[charleslaferriere]

Hey! I recently got an iPhone 15 pro and I would like to record stuff with it. I really like ambiant sounds of rain, ocean waves and more and I would like to know what mic you would recommand to record on the default recording app of the iPhone, or something else if you have a better idea 🙂

[Lowbattery]

What is the tripod you are using with the iPhone outside?
